Breakups & Divorce Support Group

Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.

I'm so glad to see the positive attitude from you on this. I, too, had NEVER been on my own. Birth-18, duh..parents. 18-22, college roommates. 22-31, ex-wife. I was terrified at first (still am some days), but also learned to appreciate the space, freedom, and endless possibilities around the house. Good for you...go to Lowe's and get some paint!

Yeah. Yesterday when I got to the house, I wanted to just lie down and not do anything. Lol. There's too much to do and it's hard to even get started. Luckily, my mom came with me because she knew it was going to be hard for me. She got me started and now I can't stop! You know what? Furniture is *REALLY* easy to move around!!!!

Yeah, living alone was really hard at first, and, in some ways, it still is. I was used to almost always having someone else in the house, always sharing a space with at least one other person. I think I am finally getting to the point where I enjoy having the space to myself. I get to call all the shots, and I can unplug the phone and lock the door if the world is pissing me off.

ive never been alone and always hated sleeping alone when he wasn't there. getting more used to it but find it so hard and being stuck in the family home surrounded by all the memories is really tough. hope i will be like you in a few months and start to enjoy it. i feel so lonely

I completely renovated the bedroom. Had to. Moved all the furniture, got new pictures, bought Febreze candles to change the aroma, etc. I still have a thousand things I'd like to do, but I take it one small project at a time.

If it's the PC you no longer have, at the library try checking on Craigslist for a cheap old computer that you can use to hook up to the internet.

If you don't know how to do any of the hookup stuff with the PC, try posting an ad at a local college for someone that can help you set it all up. A local 'PC geek' might be happy to volunteer to help you out.

Hope that helps. You shouldn't have to leave here if you don't want to.

The only downside right now is that I don't have that person to remind that I need to go to bed and get some sleep. I've always been a night owl and she used to always come and get me around midnight and drag me off to bed. Now, I'm up almost every night until 2 or 3. Not good for the health or the career.

Goofy, I love it... It's so nice to know that I can leave my vacuum in the middle of the floor. Or that I don't have to worry about cleaning up pee spots on the toilet... Oh it's so fantastic.. Like you it's my first time too...

He he, I had the opposite problem, Tangled. I had to fight my ex-wife to let me go to bed. I've always worked an 8 to 5, and her schedule was always random. If I'm not in bed by 10:30, I'm useless the next day.

I have been alone for almost 18 months. It has been a good thing for me.. I have my very few lonely days but for the most part ,, It rocks.. I have friends that I can call when I get lonely so that is a huge plus.. Kimmee

I'm finally getting comfortable with being alone. The first month it was hell; I was calling people every day! But now I enjoy reading a good book in peace, cooking, even cleaning. I've started a little redecorating with more to come as the money is available.

I don't miss all his mess, crap, junk, and sh*t laying around every where, not to mention his endless chatter about himself, his needs, his desires, and all my faults.

I move into my own place with my girls next month. I have a lot of mixed emotions but mainly I am so excited. Almost like it's my way of starting off fresh. I feel like I can leave the hurt, pain, betrayal behind me.

Hang in there Goofy, enjoy this time alone. Have fun decorating and rearranging and making the home to fit you. Soon you'll learn to love living alone. Take care!

Mostly, I'm just freaked out about money now. But I have a plan, and hopefully I'll be out of debt in a couple of years. I needed very little income from him to pay for food and gas, but that was something.

I did love being able to do whatever I wanted to with myself and the furniture and my bedtime, ect last night. Since I've been sleeping alone for the last 5 months, that part didn't really bother me. But getting used to the quiet is going to be tough.

As for the computer and not being able to be on here all the time -- I just need to save up a little money and get myself to a good spot before I can pay for the Internet again.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
